Facing a situation many families can never imagine a north Wales family is trying to restrict how involved a parent who has murdered can be in their child's life. The Flintshire family is hoping to change the laws after Russell Marsh murdered his estranged wife Jade Marsh as NorthWalesLive reports.
Jade was stabbed and strangled to death by Russell, who has since been sentenced to life, in August 2021. Despite being locked up for his crimes Russell still has parental responsibility for the four sons he shared with Jade.
He still has control over medical needs and if the children can leave the country. This means if the family wanted to take the boys aboard they would have to get permission from Russell through a family court hearing.
